YBN Nahmir admitted to 'struggling with an alcohol addiction' in the past

On March 21, 2022, YBN Nahmir took to X to share his struggle with alcohol addiction through a series of posts. In the first of his series of posts, he wrote:

"Alright y’all, I feel like it’s best for me to just get this out my system. For 3 years I’ve been struggling with an alcoholic addiction. I’ve changed so much due to it, & not in the right ways. I’ve pushed so many of my love ones away & the people I care about because of it…"

The rapper explained that he "tried to slow down" and stop himself from "drinking." He mentioned that the challenge for him then was "to get clean." He mentioned:

"I’ve constantly tried to slow down / stop myself from drinking, but it’s not easy at all. This year I want a new challenged & the challenge is for me to get clean. I never knew addiction was this hard. Before hand it was easy for me to block it out, but now it’s taking a toll.."

YBN Nahmir admitted that he wanted to "get help" in the form of therapy or rehab. He apologized to his fans because he "slipped" and would like to "get his family back." He wrote:

"It’s just been a lot going on in my life behind close doors that I leave off the internet. The only thing I wanna do now in life is get help, therapy or even rehab. To feel like myself again & get my family back. I’m sorry y’all. I slipped."

The rapper also had a message for those "struggling with addiction." He said he earlier believed it was some "normal sh*t," but it is "one of the worst feelings ever." He said:

"If you’re struggling with addiction it’s best to seek help. That’s all I’m trying to do. I use to think this was just some 'normal sh*t' until I realized I’m NOT THE SAME ANYMORE. Sh*t is one of the worst feelings ever."

Nahmir deleted the posts on his X account later but mentioned that he had been 'getting drunk everyday' in his recent post following his seizure (as quoted previously).
